I’m not quite sure what the difference if any is between “censure” and “non-confidence” votes. As I understand it, they’re both non-binding ways for the Senate to say we don’t like this guy. Apparently there is a (rather old) precedent for censuring an Attorney General for not adequately explaining an attorney firing:

In 1886, for instance, the Senate voted to censure President Grover Cleveland’s attorney general, A.H. Garland, because he did not provide documents about the firing of a federal prosecutor.

But anyway it also sounds like the Senate vote on AGAG isn’t going to happen for a while.

“If passed, this bill will make taxpayers pay the legal bills for illegal aliens seeking amnesty. Tucked away on page 317 is a provision that would allow lawyers in the federally-funded legal services program to represent illegal aliens, which they are presently barred from doing.”
